This was one of those times when tight budgets and my general dislike of large crowds both get to stress me out.
But, off to the tree farm... found that neither Walmart or Target had any christmas tree stands in stock. So we asked the farm if he had stands for sale. They did. It's a disposable stand they nail to the bottom of the tree, 5 bucks.
Considering we lose the stand we had the previous year every year (last year was the one time in a decade we didn't), disposable stand makes sense for us. And the stand comes with the cross slats, so the tree will stand level, no effort.
Now the tree is in the living room, ready to decorate, and I can sit back and have some Cabernet and play Astro Empires.
Later tonight we'll decorate the tree and I'll upload the picture to this blog posting.
